Why Fumigate?

Fumigation VS Spot Treatment

You have a choice when it comes to getting rid of these house-munching monsters. Decide which termite treatment is best for you and your home.

Whole-Home Fumigation

Kills all termites, even hidden or inaccessible colonies

One treatment eliminates 100% of termites

No drilling necessary

Residents must prepare their home and leave it for a few days

Costs more than most spot treatment, requires leaving home for a few days and possible kennel costs

SpotTreatment

Colonies must be found to be treated

Multiple treatments may be necessary if all termites are not eliminated

Requires drilling

Pest management professionals must inspect the home, and residents may have to leave until the chemical dries

Cost per treatment is less than fumigation, but multiple services are often needed

(includes orange oil and liquid)

Heat

Unlikely to kill all termites throughout the home

Thick wood timbers, drywall, insulation, concrete and tile take longer to heat and may affect how well the treatment works.

No drilling necessary

Many common household items are heat-sensitive and must be removed or protected — residents may have to leave their home for one day

Cost is equivalent to fumigation, minus hotel and kennel costs

Why Fumigate?

A Look Inside Termite Damage

Drywood termites might be tiny little bugs, but they cause big damage — hundreds of millions of dollars big. Even worse, while you might be able to see some signs of termites in your house, there could be many more hiding behind walls, in crawl spaces or in the attic.

How it Works

The Fumigation Process

1

Your home is carefully prepared and tented

Think of the tent as a balloon; it keeps the gas in so the termites die.

2

The tent is filled with fumigant

The precise amount of fumigant makes its way throughout your home, seeking out every termite no matter where it’s hiding.

3

Every single termite dies

No more invaders hiding in your walls, eating away at your home.

4

The tent is vented & your home is termite-free

The gas completely exits your home and does not leave behind surface residue or living termites.

Get your home & family ready

Here are a few simple suggestions to help make your fumigation as successful and easy as possible.

BeforeFumigation

Make accommodation arrangements for your family and pets.

Contact the gas company for shut-off on day of fumigation.*

Remove or prepare unsealed food and medications.**

Make house key arrangements with your pest management professional.

Move indoor and potted outdoor plants away from your home.

Open waterproof covers on all mattresses and pillows.***

Day ofFumigation

Provide house keys to your pest management professional.

Evacuate all people, pets and plants from the structure and thoroughly water landscaping around your home.

Turn off automatic timers, heaters, air conditioning, etc.

Extinguish all pilot lights.

Contact the gas company for a restoration appointment.*

AfterFumigation

Don’t re-enter your home until a licensed fumigator says it's OK to do so.

Turn back on devices and timers.

It is not necessary to wash dishes, linens, clothing, etc., as the fumigant is a gas that will dissipate from your home and will not leave behind any surface residue.

Enjoy the peace of mind that the termites are gone.

*If not already arranged by your pest management professional **Special bags can be used to keep unsealed food and medicines in the home during fumigation. Your pest management professional will have more information on preparing food and medicines. ***If waterproof covers have built-in air vents, they do not need to be opened.
